Download or read book Fashion Faux Pas written by Teresa Johnson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of a fashion disaster, but here I am, the star of my very own couture comedy. As a travel writer, I've been around the world and seen some pretty strange things, but nothing could have prepared me for the mishaps and misadventures that awaited me on my latest assignment. It all started when I was sent to cover a high-end fashion show in Paris. As someone who's more comfortable in hiking boots than stilettos, I knew I was in for a challenge. But nothing could have prepared me for the chaos that ensued when I accidentally spilled coffee on one of the designer dresses. The domino effect that followed was like something out of a slapstick movie, with models tripping over each other and photographers scrambling to capture the madness. From there, things only got worse. I found myself roped into an impromptu runway walk, my lack of fashion sense on full display for all to see. And when I was invited to a swanky after-party, I knew I was in trouble. With a never-ending supply of champagne and a room full of people who take fashion seriously, I was like a fish out of water. But through it all, I learned that sometimes the best way to handle a fashion faux pas is to embrace it. I may not have the grace of a supermodel, but I've got a sense of humor and a willingness to laugh at myself. And in the end, that's what got me through the crazy world of high fashion. So if you're looking for a laugh-out-loud travel adventure that's part travelogue, part comedy of errors, and all heart, then join me on my journey through the fashion world. It may not be pretty, but it sure is hilarious.
Download or read book Fashioning James Bond written by Llewella Chapman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashioning James Bond is the first book to study the costumes and fashions of the James Bond movie franchise, from Sean Connery in 1962's Dr No to Daniel Craig in Spectre (2015). Llewella Chapman draws on original archival research, close analysis of the costumes and fashion brands featured in the Bond films, interviews with families of tailors and shirt-makers who assisted in creating the 'look' of James Bond, and considers marketing strategies for the films and tie-in merchandise that promoted the idea of an aspirational 'James Bond lifestyle'. Addressing each Bond film in turn, Chapman questions why costumes are an important tool for analysing and evaluating film, both in terms of the development of gender and identity in the James Bond film franchise in relation to character, and how it evokes the desire in audiences to become part of a specific lifestyle construct through the wearing of fashions as seen on screen. She researches the agency of the costume department, director, producer and actor in creating the look and characterisation of James Bond, the villains, the Bond girls and the henchmen who inhibit the world of 007. Alongside this, she analyses trends and their impact on the Bond films, how the different costume designers have individually and creatively approached costuming them, and how the costumes were designed and developed from novel to script and screen. In doing so, this book contributes to the emerging critical literature surrounding the combined areas of film, fashion, gender and James Bond.
Download or read book The Fashionista Files written by Karen Robinovitz and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fashionista is a girl who always looks current and cutting edge, even when her clothes are vintage 1975. A fashionista can tell her Pucci from her Gucci and her Blahniks from her Choos, but she’s as comfortable in Kmart as she is in Chanel. She wears what she likes and always looks fantastic. She’s a clothing chameleon: a sharp tweed suit and ladylike driving gloves one moment, a punk rock T-shirt and studded belt the next. She’s a gypsy, a princess, and a diva. She’s fashion-forward, shopping-addicted, and full of fun. And you can be her, no matter your size, style, or budget. Authors Melissa de la Cruz and Karen Robinovitz are fashionistas who share a love for impractical shoes, small dogs that fit in designer handbags, and wearing white after Labor Day. They eat, sleep, and breathe fashion. And they’ll teach you how to • Make a whole new wardrobe out of the awful duds that lurk in the back of your closet • Use the words “postmodern” and “ironic” to fake your way through pseudo-intellectual cocktail conversation (really–it’s easy, and so postmodern and ironic!) • Score big with chic and cheap finds at thrift stores, consignment shops, and discount designer outlets • Live like a socialite on a shoestring budget In two weeks or less, you’ll be living the lush life, from the brim of your Eugenia Kim fedora to the tip of your pointy Christian Louboutin pumps!
